Trevisan and the fugitive pursued

Meaning

The Count of the Trevisan March is invoked through the image of the fugitive and pursuer in the account of fire. Nuysement’s ensuing explanation makes internal sulphur the acting principle aided by common external heat. The pursuit image warns against driving off what the work seeks to retain; it should not be normalized into a modern heating instruction.

Later the good Trevisan’s reported two-year delay after acquiring book-knowledge distinguishes knowing a path from undertaking the long work. This supports Nuysement’s own claim to know routes he has not resolved to travel. Both anecdotes function as attributed counsel, not an independently reconstructed biography or proof of successful transmutation.
